finals, holidays, and the new year…
(a not quite technology-related post…)
I haven’t updated in a while, mostly because school has been so busy. I’m almost finished with my final project for PHP, and I just have one more test for Perl.
Things are finally winding down, and soon I’ll have time to set up my first functional online store at www.patdoolittle.com. it’s going to be tricky to set up everything with the bank, and figuring out all the legal issues. I’ll have to call up my friend arin and buy him a burrito in exchange for some small business consulting. I’m also going to set up a CMS to allow for easy inventory management. Somehow in between that project, work, and shopping for Christmas presents, I’m also looking for a new job. Hopefully something will turn up soon. I think I might be better off looking after the holidays.
I was thinking about taking the advanced course in PHP (Web Services), along with an overview of AJAX next semester. Six months ago I wanted to complete the web certificate as quickly as possible, but now I’m debating whether or not to take my last class in the web programming sequence (Database theory), or if I should just postpone it, and take these other more interesting, and probably more useful courses. There’s also the possibility of taking all three at once. It’s tough to do 7 units of school on top of 40 hours of work, as I learned this semester, but doing these three classes next semester adds up to 9 units. I’ll probably end up postponing the Database theory class until summer, so that I can take these other two classes. That’s the plan for now…
